spaRRoWs AND OTHER BIRDS.
A Crusade That Was Carried on and
 Some of Its Results.

Crusade That Was Carried on and
 Some of Its Results.
 It is found that in the south part of the city the pestilent English sparrows are giving way again to the native singing birds. Robins and orioles are more numerous than for years and other birds that had to give way when the sparrow first began to multiply are in- creasing again. Perhaps the same vindictive measures have been applied generally there that have proved efieacious in some ind1vld- ual instances nearer the center. At one place large house had projecting roof with moulded and recessed brackets of ma jestic appearance which were much favored by the sparrows either for this reason or be- cause their deep recesses were like free house rent to them, needing only a little furnishing to be all that the heart of sparrow can de- sire. The furnishing was easy because the sparrow is filthy creature and makes it's nest of any dirty refuse that comes to hand. As usually happens in dirty homes they breed prodigiously and turn out their raeamuffin families to shift for them selves at tender age. Like the famous race described by the traveller their customs are filthy and they have no morals. Finding these places so well suited to their requirements they occupied them three deep and proceeded to fight, chatter and increase to the dismay of the people who owned the house and were at last forced to rebel against this squatter sovereignty. A good while af- ter forbearanee had really ceased to be vir- tue they started war of extermination. Men went up on long ladders and tore out the nests without pity for the young occupants and with no concern for quart or two of eggs. When the last vestige of the intruders was gone these prosecutors spread fine wire netting so that the birds could never get back again, went home and slept as soundly as any victorious general who has ravaged a province. The sparrows thanked heaven that the weather made a house unneces- sary and held an indignation meeting that lasted the better part of twenty four hours Then they moved in a body further down the street and the neighbors were dis mayed at the new armies that haunted their vicinity, but did not know the explanation. It was noticed that as soon as this purgation was effected the robins and other native birds came back to enjoy the trees about the place. They expressed their gratitude in songs of triumph which began about day light and continued till after breakfast time Of course they woke up members of the fam fly just as the sparrows had done, and in old times there used to be complaint there of the early robin. But the relief from the scold- ing aud wrangling of the sparrows was so great that thus far no words have been heard but in praise of the robins melody.-Hart- ford Courant

THE NIANTIC CAMP GROUND.
HOW the Grounds LoOk-What Is An-
 ticipated.

HOW the Grounds LoOk-Wnab IS Ah-
 ticipated.
 A reporter of the New London Telegraph has visited the Niantic eneampment, and re- nortg thus: "A little cluster of wall tents on the right of the camp ground is the first evidence of military occupation. These tents are occupied by Quartermaster- General Morean's men-artisans and 1aborers-who are engaged in making ready for "training" week The camp equipage ia being received and the different pieces arranged 80 that there will be no confusion nor disorder whom the time comes for pitching the tents. The storehouses have been repaired wherever re- pairs were needed, and additions have been built to secure better accommodations; the mess halls are all in good condition, and will be thoroughly aired and cleansed before the arrival of the troops. There are 0 few holes in the parade grounds which might prove dan rerous traps for horses and inoonvenient ob. stacles to men marching, but these will all be filed The wire fencing is in good condl' tion except that portion which divides Camr Lounsbury from the Spiritualist camp, and which was struck by lightning during the storm last Sunday. This will require new posts where the old ones were split o1 spIintered, and the stretching of several rods of wire" The brigade will be larger than last year, and will contain good many new men, but it is thought that the guard duty and the military etiquette will be better, as special attention has been paid to drill III such matters during the year. These are bv the United States officers who were der koiIad foT ir1sDectiOQ there.

THE MOVEMENT FOR GRADED SCHOOL IN THE TowN-voTED TO BUY LAND OF H. P. SHARES
 THE HORSE SHEDS NEAR THE CHURCH.
 NORTH HAVEN, Aug. 4.-The long series of meetings of the Fourth school district cul- minated last Tuesday evening in 8 unani- nous vote to purchase what is known as the H. P. Shares lot with the adjoining property now occupied by the horse sheds near the Congregational church. A building commit ley, s. B. Thorpe, S. F. Linsley and F. H. Todd was chosen to carry out the wishes of the district. An appropriation of $2, 500 was made provided the town will add like sum for the establishment of graded school, but if the latter refuses to do this then S, ,OOO was set aside for this object and the district will build for themselves alone. The selec- tion of the new site gives universal satisfaar tion, for it not only keeps the school building In the center of the school population, but it serves to remove long existing blotch on the grounds near there-the horse sheds These useful appendages to a country church will be removed few rods to the rear, serv- ing their purpose equally well and looking vastly better. The next meeting will be held August 16, at which time it is expected all the committees will fully report. A town meeting will then be called and work com mence immediately after.
 Mrs. John Hart and son, of Durham, are visiting friends in town for few days.

RARNUm AWAKE.

Determined to Have a Sea Serpent.
 P. T. Barnum when at St. Albans, Vt., this week was greatly interested in the Lake Champlain sea serpent, which go many claim to have seen this year. He has authorized the press to state that he will give $2O, 900 for the snake delivered to his representative at Bridgeport, dead or alive, and provided it is over fifty feet long. Those who think they have seen the animal estimate his length at one hundred and fifty feet, with head, as usual, about the size of flour barrel. Rev. Adirondack Murray, who has been at Lake Champlain, maintains that after having scrutinized closely what was declared by others to be sea serpent that what they saw was only resemblance and not the reality; that the resemblance was due to 6 line of ducks swimming along Indian file on the lake, the bobbing up and down of the ducks on the water giving the appearance of the wriggling serpent motion.

GAY TIMES
I'm New London Harbor-The Fleet Off
 For Newport.

In New London Harbor-The Fleet Of
 For Newport.
 NEW LONDON, Aug. 4.-New London har- Dor presented rare sight at sundown last night, when more than seventy-fye yachts were anchored off the Pequot House. The fleet came struggling in all day, none of them having wind enough to put them through the water very rapidly, and it was long after dark before the last of the squadron came along. The Privateer was the first of the big sloops to arrive. She anchored above the fleet and soon after General and Mrs. Sheri- dan came ashore and went to the cottage of Colonel A. o. Tyler, where they are to be entertained while they remain. The Volun- teer came along just before o'clock. Then the wind, which was from the east-southeast, had freshend little and the big white racer went over among the fleet at a fairly lively pace. She was greeted with salute from the vessels at anchor and came to @ halt toward the outside of the fleet. She presents the appearance of racer, and it is predicted that she will lead the squadron in- to Newport to-day with ease, though the Mayfower is expected to give her lively brush if the wind blows fresh. The Allan tic arrived at 9 o'clock.
 The river steamers conveyed large num- Der of townspeople down the harbor last night to give them an opportunity to see the yachts. The Pequot House and grounds were brilliantly illuminated, as were also the yachts at anchor in the harbor, among them the Puritan.
 At meeting of captains on the Electra last night it was decided to race for the Goe- let cup on Friday. The yachts sailed for Newport about 10 o'clock this morning. The fleet will leave for Martha's Vineyard Satur day and remain there over Sunday. The cup offered by the citizens of that place was declined. Monday a start will be made for Marblehead where the dates for the race for the Pierrepont, Morgan and the Boston Her aid cups will be decided upon. After these races the yachts will return to Newport and race for the cup offered by Providence peo- ,,le. The club will not participate in the Halifax jubilee races.

THE COLOR LINE QUESTION

Which Again Will be Stirred Up at the
 A. o. F. Convention in Chicago.
 The color line question bids fair to excite heated debate at the coming national con- yention of the Ancient Order of Foresters to
 be held next week, opening on Monday in
 Chicago. It will be remembered that at the
 high court of the world convention held in
 England last year they had "big talk"
 over the subject of admitting colorsd men
 to membership, and as it was soon found out
 that it was question which most deeply
 affected the American wing of the trustees,
 the high court discreetly turned the whole
 question over to the American brethren to
 settle for themselves. Attorney James I.
 Hayes of this city was one of the delegates to the high court last year and with other Amer
 iean delegates objected to the proposed strik- ing out of the word white from the constitu- tion of the Foresters, as such move would un- do the bars and make colored men eligible to l membership in the order. This move was strenuously objected to, not on account of | race prejudice, so it was stated, but simply
 on the score of financial safety, it being l maintained that it would dangerously affect | the very important insurance interest of the ! Foresters, which pays $2, ,000 year on the death of member. It would have such an effect, so it was claimed, on the ground that | colored people at the South die off faster 1 than the whites, and that hence it would be impolitic and unwise to let colored people in The American delegates will make their re- port at the Chicago convention next week of what transpired at the high court session last year. It is thought that the subject of ad- mission of colored men will be dropped Says the Boston Pilot: "An indignation meeting of colored citizens was held in Boston recent l ly to protest against the language claimed to have been used by Delegates Hayes and Me Murty derogatory to the colored race at the high court last year." MT. Hayes denies that either he or McMurty made use of any such objectionable language, and they expect a lively session at Chicago

 ''I am nearly eighty-four years old and have suffered from rheumatism and kidney troubles. I have tried numberless emedies, but none ever relieved me as did Allcock's Porous Plasters.
